half of us went to walk in the mountains, while the other half is hosting a guest-cook in our next cantina! the guest is s. an italian friend who lives here allready for eight years. she cooks with passion and spark and to have dinner at her place feels like going to a very very good restaurant!! she also offers lovely grappa in the end of the dinners and it is so good!

so this week we will have dinner from the area of venice, we will wear our striped shirts and sing gondola songs and we will serve eggplant which is slow cooked and served with fresh garlic and parsley, then white ploenta with baked andive and balsamico, sardines in marinade of sweet silver onion and a mix of mushrooms and fontina cheese for those who are not fish friendly.

for dessert, panetone, allthough it is strictly a cristmess thing, with powdered sugar mixed with other spices...

our dear friend dieter is here on a visit from london and it is his birthday! do you remember our first birthday edition? it was many weeks ago, and we still have sweet memories from that evening. this time we make less cakes but we made stronger choices that fit to the season - with figs, pear, chesnut, apple and some chocolate balls for the inner child in all of us.
